Earlier in the day, the Handley High boys from Winchester showcased their season-long dominance with a 5-0 shutout of York for their third title in six years.

FOR THE RECORD - Published correction ran Monday, June 9, 2003.A story on a tennis match in Sunday's Sports section incorrectly stated that Loudoun County High School is in Purcellville. It is located in Leesburg. (Text deleted and corrected.)

The matches were scheduled to be played outside -- the girls at Radford, the boys at Virginia Tech -- but rain necessitated a trip indoors to Tech's Burleson-Burrows Tennis Center.

Jamestown returned all but one starter from a team that had beaten Loudoun County 5-0 in a semifinal en route to the crown a year ago, but the Raiders -- based in Leesburg, -- were far tougher opposition this season. They handed the Eagles their first dual-match defeat since 1999.

University of Tennessee-bound senior Blakeley Griffith, who had beaten Jamestown star Ashley James the previous day to win her third AA singles title, defeated her again Saturday at the No. 1 spot, 6-1, 6-2. But unlike last year, Griffith's teammates rose to the occasion.

At No. 1 doubles, Griffith and Jessica Nixon earned a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 victory over Ashley James and Collins, putting Loudoun ahead 4-3. But Eagles freshmen Mary Kate James and Kelly Maxwell won 6-0, 6-3 at 2, leaving the title to be decided at No. 3 doubles.

Jamestown seniors Murphy and Van Deusen, who lost the first set 6-2 shortly after James and Maxwell finished, took a 5-3 lead in the second set. But the Raiders' Dyer and Madison McGuire won the last four games to take the set 7-5.

In the individual doubles final, James made history by ending the day on a bright note. She and Collins rallied past Griffith and Nixon 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Thus, not only did James and Collins win their second doubles crown in a row, but James established an unbreakable mark -- she won the state doubles title four times.

York, which overcame significant personnel losses to win its eighth Region I title in the past 10 years during coach Jose' Erfe's final season, couldn't cope with the Handley Judges' juggernaut. Among the five Falcons who lost, No. 5 player Chris Rhodes won the most games, 6-2, 6-2.

Handley's Matt Stillwagon, a University of Richmond recruit, pounded David Ancarrow 6-0, 6-1 and finished high school with three singles titles, three doubles crowns and two team titles.
